Making pizza is one of the most fun things you can do in the kitchen with friends or family. You may think that a pizza is judged by its toppings, but here’s a secret—it’s all about the crust. That’s why most pizza in Italy is cooked in a wood-fired oven for the chewiest, best crust. Kneading and shaping pizza dough is super fun.

Top with just about whatever you want, and you have a great dinner. Try fresh mozzarella cheese, basil and tomatoes for the classic Italian pizza Margherita. With younger kids, try making pizza with pre-made dough instead.
